Journal Title: Проблеми економіки - Year 2013, Vol 2013, Issue 2
Abstract
The article characterises economic state of sea ports of Ukraine through the prism of their classification by different principles and methods. When considering ports in the context of carrying out economic and social functions by them, they could be divided by freight specificity (bulked, loose, container-piece), coefficient of their specialisation could be determined and they could be characterised as hubs, diversified or niche companies. Characteristics of ports as of infrastructural systems allows drawing a conclusion that not always the better infrastructure support results in the growth of freight flow. Certain regi0onal groups of ports that service neighbouring industrial complexes and transportation corridors could be marked out. Classification of ports by generations shows that Ukrainian ports rather belong to the second stage of development, however, have features of the third and fourth generations. Thus, the article outlines a set of problems of modern sea port industry of Ukraine, which can be solved in several directions undertaking relevant steps - either independently, attracting resources of the state and ports themselves, or expanding co-operation with private investors.
